Among the new resources now available are an animation that illustrates the stages of labor and an infographic that dispels some common pregnancy myths.

We also answered some common questions, including:

  • How might smoking affect a woman's fetus?
  • Do women with disabilities face riskier pregnancies?
  • How has research helped improve pregnancy outcomes?
